Reasoning models

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Reasoning models has been mentioned in one podcast episode on The Iced Coffee Hour (Nov 2025).

Reasoning language models (RLMs) or large reasoning models (LRMs) are large language models that are trained to solve tasks that require several steps of reasoning. They tend to do better on logic, math, and programming tasks than standard LLMs, can revisit and revise earlier steps, make use of extra computations, and enhance performance when increasing the number of parameters, training examples, and training computations.
